An Anglican Rosary

Source

• The image is of a set of prayer beads made by an Anglican Solitary or hermit.
• Their construction included the solitary's prayers for the future users of the prayer beads.
• An image can only be an introduction or sampling, not to replace the focus obtained from the sight and handling of the actual prayer beads. Obtain your own rosary from the Solitaries of DeKoven and join in their ministry of prayer.

Structure

• The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ at the base of the bead loop.
• The larger black beginning Invitatory and ending Closing Bead immediately above the Cross.
• Four larger black Cruciform Beads opposing each other as points of a cross.
• Four sets or Weeks of seven smaller purple Day Beads, each set introduced by a Cruciform Bead.

Symbolism

• Four symbolizes the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ with its four points, and the created world with its four compass points and seasons.
• Seven symbolizes fullness or completion, the seven days of Creation, the seven days of the week, and the seven Church Seasons.
• 33 total beads reflect the years of our Lord Jesus Christ's earthly life.
